crowd of cigar makers discussing pol
itics when I was a mere slip of a
boy."-

an old woman of over 80 years, wear
ing a long gray shawl, hobbled up,
looked at the stranger'a moment, and
broke.out
"I know you, Sam Gompers," she
said. "Many's the time I gave you a
piece of my mind when you used to
live there,' pointing to the house
where Mr. Gompers was born; The

he left London as a youthful appren
tice cigar maker, and he spent some
minutes talking over old times with
her. asking about various boyhood
playmates, .most of whom were dead
Mr. Gompers spent a happy half
hour in the midst of "the crowd.
There was a great deal of hand
shaking as Mr. Gompers bade his old
and new friends farewell after prom
ising to make the street another
yisit before returning to America.

for stock killed.

railway employes and he insists that
